Unless otherwise specified, the parameters given in Ta ble 3 8 are derived from tests
performed under the ambient temperature, f

supply voltage
conditions summarized in Ta bl e 8 .
The STM32F103xx performance line
I
2
C interface meets the requirements of the standard
I
2
C communication protocol with the following restrictions: the I/O pins SDA and SCL are
mapped to are not “true” open-drain. When configured as open-drain, the PMOS connected
between the I/O pin and V
DD
is disabled, but is still present.
The I

C characteristics are described in Ta bl e 3 8 . Refer also to
Section 5.3.12: I/O port
characteristics
for more details on the input/output alternate function characteristics (SDA
and SCL)
.

The device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal in order to bridge the
undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
